The ONA Roma Camera Insert: If your just packing your DSLR and a lens, the Roma Camera Insert from ONA can easily transform any bag into a protective space for your gear. The Roma won’t replace a camera bag but it’s a good solution for short trips where only your camera and a lens are needed. The Roma also has five exterior pockets that’ll help keep your stuff organized. It is available in black and handcrafted from waxed canvas with leather side handles for easy removal.

The Satechi BT Smart Trigger is an Android and iOS wireless timer remote for latest Canon camera models. The Smart Trigger app features multiple modes allowing users to easily capture the best shots every time. The Regular Shot mode (iOS/Android smartphones or tablets) acts as a wireless shutter that can be used for group shots. Manual Shot mode offers users the ability to take long exposures and lock the shutter open to capture photographic techniques such as star trails, fireworks or light painting at night. Time Shot mode turns your smartphone or tablet into an intervalometer used for advanced photography tasks such as time lapses or videos of traffic, weather or blooming flowers.
